Water Street bridge reopened

After months of waiting and anticipating, the Water Street bridge reopened to limited traffic Thursday morning.

A traffic light will regulate one direction of traffic, then another, according to Clinton Department of Public Works Superintendent Chris McGown.

“There are still days when, unfortunately, we will still have to close it down,” McGown said. For example, next Tuesday and Wednesday, the plan is to close the bridge during the day while overhead lines are moved. It should be reopened in the evenings.
